The San Francisco Railway Museum makes a great special event venue. The museum is located at 77 Steuart St, just a half-block away from the Ferry Building and boasting beautiful views of the waterfront along the Embarcadero.
Your group can enjoy evening cocktail service and hors d’oeuvres at the museum or we can also arrange an excursion on a historic streetcar with a return to the museum or drop off at a restaurant of your choice along the line. These packages can include hors d’oeuvres and beverages (wine, beer & water). We handle the streetcar charter arrangements if applicable to your event.
